	Fast and equipped with a shield generator, the Longbow's job is to deploy its kinetic Sabot missile from range and return to the carrier to rearm. Most effective when its shield-breaking kinetic damage is combined with that of heavier damage-dealers.
–In-Game Description

Notes

Uniquely among bombers, the Longbow carries kinetic, rather than explosive, ordnance. It is very fast(for a bomber), the omnishield gives it decent survivability and it even carries a self-defense Burst PD Laser. All in all, it can be paired with other regular bombers for a good - if OP expensive - alternative to escort fighters.
